As you leave the hut in the morning you will be with a large number of others, who will mainly be going to the Alphubel. Ski down from the hut diagonally onto the flat glacier below, then slowly make your way up the glacier, taking care not to miss the turning left, heading S to the slightly steeper skin up the Fluchthorn.

You leave this main Alphubel track roughly at the foot of the steep cliff that drops down from the summit of the Allalinhorn, where you may have been a few days earlier. The broad glacial ascent is relatively non-technical, approaching the summit from the W. It gives brilliant views of the Strahlhorn, which hopefully you will be doing the following day, as well as the Allalinhorn, Rimpfischhorn and Monte Rosa. The ski down is the reverse of your ascent route, with a final sting-in-the-tail short skin back to the Britannia Hut.
